Seven will become three. Three will become one. One will save us all.
For centuries, the Dragon King Prophecy has been more myth than truth. But now the seven kingdoms of ancient Korea face the destructive forces of a newly powerful Yamato army and its leader, the Daimyo, who struck a deal with a demon for the power to conquer the world.
PROPHECY is about Kira Kang, the only female warrior of the Saulabi Army and a bona fide demon slayer who has the unusual ability to sense the presence of demons. With the assassination of several kings and the Yamato invasion of the peninsula, Kira finds herself racing north, part of a small group dedicated to protecting her cousin Taejo, the crown prince of Hansong, who may or may not be the legendary Dragon Musado fated to reunite the Seven Kingdoms. Filled with Korean culture and mythology, PROPHECY introduces a new, magical fantasy world that I believe is unique to current YA literature.
This is the first book in the trilogy of the Dragon King Chronicles.

London, 1894. Juliet Moreau has built a life for herself—working as a maid, attending church on Sundays, and trying not to think about the scandal that ruined her life. After all, no one ever proved the rumors about her father’s gruesome experiments. But when she learns her father is alive and continuing his work on a remote tropical island, she is determined to find out if the accusations were true.
Juliet is accompanied by the doctor’s handsome young assistant and an enigmatic castaway, who both attract Juliet for very different reasons. They travel to the island only to discover the depths of her father’s madness: he has created animals that have been vivisected to resemble, speak, and behave as humans. Worse, one of the creatures has turned violent and is killing the island’s inhabitants. Juliet knows she must end her father’s dangerous experiments and escape the island, even though her horror is mixed with her own scientific curiosity. As the island falls into chaos, she discovers the extent of her father’s genius—and madness—in her own blood.
